"Brother Dashuan, sister-in-law, Guifen and I heard from the eldest brother that his wife was pregnant. We were so happy that we forgot to tell you what the eldest brother asked us to do." After saying this, he sighed with self-blame.
Dashuan and his wife looked at each other, and Dashuan's aunt smiled and said, "What did your eldest brother want to talk to us about?"
"Didn't the machinery factory recruit workers some time ago? The boss asked me to tell you guys to let Jianmin try, but I forgot about it because I was so happy."
"Hey, I thought it was something. Jianmin went there, but the factory didn't like him. Your boss is so thoughtful. Please thank him on behalf of my Jianmin."
The few of them chatted cordially for a while longer, and seeing that they didn't seem angry, Dayong said goodbye and went back.
Jianhua walked him to the door and rolled his eyes with disdain at his back.
When he returned to the house, he saw his parents sitting on the kang with gloomy faces. He comforted them, "It's good to know what kind of people they are. There's no need to offend such villains."
Uncle Dashuan sighed and said, "If he hadn't come today, I would have thought it was his boss's problem. I really misjudged Dayong all these years."
Jianhua smiled and said, "Dad, you are just too honest. Do you think others are as honest as you? Uncle Dayong has many little tricks up his sleeve."
Aunt Dashuan scolded with a smile: "How can you talk to your father like that? Get out of the way."
Uncle Dashuan sighed and said with a smile, "Xu Zhiqing and Xiaoan are really honest! They help people in a down-to-earth way and never do anything empty."
The brother and sister who are not afraid of nonsense are trying to coax Niu Pitang to sleep. Niu Niu and Pippi are very energetic, crawling around on the kang, not feeling sleepy at all.
Tangtang was a little sleepy at first, but was perked up by the noise made by her two brothers.
Xu Ma and Lu Ma were making cotton clothes for Niupitang in Xu An's room. They couldn't help laughing when they heard the voices of Niu Niu and Pi Pi next door. These two boys are really energetic.
Xu An watched the three of them getting more energetic, and sighed: "We should let Xiao Mo coax them to sleep before we leave. Sister, how about I go to the cowshed and call him back to coax Niupitang to sleep."
Xu Ning was overjoyed when he heard this: "Forget it, go back to your room. You have to get up early to go to work tomorrow. Let mom and the others come over to comfort you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu's mother and Lu's mother came in with a smile and said to Xu An, "Xiao An, go and have a rest. We will play with them."
When Niu Niu and Pippi saw grandma and grandma coming, they crawled over happily.
Each of them held one in their arms and patted them to sleep.
When Xu An saw them coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. These two guys were too clingy.
When it comes to coaxing children, he really admires Xiao Mo. This kid can make Niu Niu and Pi Pi listen to him and go to bed when he tells them to. It works better than his sister's words.
Xiao Mo, who he was talking about, was talking to Grandpa Qi and Dad Xu and Dad Lu.
Xu Mo asked, "Grandpa Qi, Xiao Wang said that his uncle is getting married next month and he wants me to go to the banquet. What do you think is the appropriate gift for me?"
Father Xu said jokingly: "It's his uncle's wedding, not his, why would he invite you to a banquet?"
"Dad, why are you talking like that? My brother's uncle is getting married, why can't I go to the banquet? Xiaowang's grandmother invited me and told me to go see the bride as soon as possible."
Xu Mo was very dissatisfied after hearing what his father said. He felt that his father did not give him face and looked down on him.
He glanced at his father and said, "Dad, don't ask about this. You don't understand the rules of our Elm Village. I know what to do."
Father Lu suppressed his laughter and asked, "Xiao Mo, how much gift are you going to give?"
"Uncle Lu, I asked the aunties in the village, and they all said to give fifty cents, but I'm a child and I don't eat as much as they do, so I'll give twenty cents. If Grandpa Qi goes to eat with me, I'll also give fifty cents, so that the thirty or twenty cents won't be a big deal."
Several people couldn't help laughing when they saw how carefully he calculated things.
Dad Lu asked again: "Xiao Mo, how much money have you saved? Is it enough for gifts?"
Xu Mo glanced at the others, then quietly touched his own purse: "I don't have much saved, just a few cents, enough for me to take Grandpa Qi to the banquet, and there's nothing more."
The three of them couldn't help laughing again.
Grandpa Qi smiled and said, "Xiao Mo, Xiao Wang's grandfather told me a few days ago that if I go with you on that day, I will give you fifty cents. We can eat more on that day and try to get the fifty cents back."
After hearing what he said, Xu Mo said with sparkling eyes: Grandpa Qi, we don’t need to eat that morning to save space so we can eat more in the morning. ”
Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu looked at him speechlessly, wondering where he learned such petty habits.
If Xu Mo knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say that they didn't understand the rules of Yushu Village. This is how people in Yushu Village eat at banquets.
